An SSD transformed an older PC or an older notebook from a standing start in a felt completely new computer. Such a performance leap in the IT world, the really every action in which he stands out massively every user makes with his PC, rarely. Of course, a new generation of computers is always faster than the old, thanks to new CPU, but is not even compare the approach with the AHA and OHO effect adjusts itself when switching from HDD to an SSD (assuming you installed its system on the SSD - clear)
To experience this, one's PC does not even need necessarily to support SATA 3. A Samung Evo 840 runs with SATA 2 taking their opportunities, but acts like a rejuvenation for everyone in the years-down PC. I have an old macbook (2007) a PC with Core2Quad so (Samsung 250GB evo 840) equipped - with both a working sense has set like sitting in front of new, modern hardware.
So once again: an SSD as a system disk really worth so much?
YES. Depart from the idea that a hard drive should provide as much GB for money. Between SSD and HDD are leistungstechnisch simply worlds. Everything - CPU, RAM, etc. benefited massively from a fast disk system.
That's the 840. Windows moves quickly start up and programs in 1-3 seconds (Photoshop) or in perceived zero time (Firefox). And even when the desktop has been released. An operating system has anno 2015 simply no longer welcome on a HDD.
